I've pushed myself to my limits,
and felt my soul bust at the seams.
I made unrealistic goals,
and tried so hard to live up to my dreams.

My passion slowly faded,
my heart left the game,
but my mind just kept on pushing,
my soul took all the pain.

I hesitantly took a step back,
I was scared to start over again,
but I've realized where I am now,
so much further than where I began.
